Healthy Ways to Get Vitamin D

Available at any drugstore, supplements are the easiest means to get your full day's worth of D. Look for one with between 600 and 1,000 IU, suggests Steven Q. Wang, M.D., director of dermatologic surgery and dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Don't overdo it: Exceeding the recommended cap of 4,000 IU per day (from all sources) can lead to kidney or heart damage.
